for this vegan cranberry feta holiday salsa, there are versatile substitute options to cater to different preferences and dietary needs.

if jalapeños are too spicy, consider using milder chili varieties or omitting them for a mellow flavor profile.

for those with cilantro aversions, parsley can be a suitable replacement, offering a fresh depth of herbs without the distinctive cilantro taste.

if roasted pepitas are unavailable, toasted sunflower seeds can provide a similar nutty crunch.

red onion can be substituted with milder options like green onions or chives if a subtler onion flavor is preferred.

in the vinaigrette, agave nectar can be used instead of maple syrup, and tahini can replace hummus for a different creamy element.

these substitutions allow for flexibility, ensuring that the salsa remains customizable and enjoyable for a wide range of tastes and dietary requirements.
